We will be growing in individual plots, and then hopefully re-plant out in a wild forest! The Mamaki will be able to be grown in our Community Garden outside A building!
We had a Mililani Environmental Science partner Mr. Saito come and talk about native plants! We decided as a class we want to grow Koa Trees, and Mamaki, which is a plant! Koa Trees and Mamaki are native to Hawaii, and were found here before anywhere else in the world!

The school raised over $400 for the American Heart Association! Students were also keeping their own heart's healthy by jumping the whole time!
After a long wait, the garden was re-soiled, tilled, and prepped for us to plant! The class voted on lettuce and green beans to grow, so we got some variations of those plants, to observe the differences!
The following students did garden work, while the rest made artistic signs to distinguish each plot! Lettuce and Green Beans won!
> UH Manoa Lettuce > Anuenue Lettuce > Bush Beans > Alaskan Green Peas We took some time to review and practice measuring with yard and meter sticks in order to prepare for planting our class voted crops!
This Saturday morning we will be tilling the garden! This week students have helped us re-weed and get some of the garden prepped! Once tilled, we will be placing new soil courtesy of Mrs. Takeuchi's community garden grant! If any families want to come, we will be starting around 8:00 am, and hopefully be finished by noon!
